Satellite User PreparednessEnsuring the preparedness of users to the
new generation of satellitesby WMO
Presented to CGMS-41 plenary session, agenda item [C.5]
based on WMO Briefing to Side Event at 65th Executive Council, 17 May 2013

WMO
Ensuring user preparedness
Satellites widely used by WMO Members in support of weather, climate, water applications
New generation of geostationary meteorological satellites to enter operations in 2015-2018, including: Himawari-8 (JMA) FY-4 (CMA) GOES-R (NOAA) GEO-KOMPSAT-2 (KMA) MTG (EUMETSAT)
Geo-Kompsat

Opportunities and Risks
Opportunities Capabilities improve (e.g., sampling rate, spatial resolution,
spectral channels) Leading to more accurate and timely forecasts New products Improved service levels
Risks Data rates increase drastically, by factors of 10-100 Data formats will change Data delivery mechanisms will change Operational services are dependent on current spacecraft
Affecting all WMO Regions
Guidance by WMO
CBS Guideline for Ensuring User Readiness for New Generation Satellites (2012) “operational users [NMHSs] to establish user readiness
projects 5 years prior to launch” “satellite operators to assist users in introduction of new
data streams into operations” Technical / programmatic information Format specification, test datasets, prototype products Parallel operation / parallel dissemination Training

Deficiencies in preparing users
Many Members report they are insufficiently prepared to the new generation of meteorological satellites

Side Event at WMO Executive Council, May 2013
Briefings by CGMS members on user preparation: JMA (Himawari-8/9) NOAA (GOES-R, NPP) EUMETSAT CMA (FY-4)
Briefing by Australian Bureau of Meteorology User perspectivehttp://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/sat/meetings/
EC65-SideEvent-UserPrep.php
Overview of User Preparedness
Two areas of preparedness New capability or Improved capability over what already
exists
Continuity of service provision Critical path, maintaining services
across the transition Legacy products and services
Maximising value of service Additional investment New products and services

Australian Bureau of Meteorology Perspective
Two major transition exercises 2003 – transition from GMS-5 – GOES-9
SVISSR to GVAR Need to maintain continuity of service
Forecasters Products and website
Ingest and processing systems tested Products migrated to new satellite
2005 – transition from GOES-9 – MTSAT-1R GVAR to HRIT

Way forward
Development of user preparedness plans necessary CGMS-40 WMO-WP-13 R40.03: “Satellite operators and trainers to take note of the new
“CBS Guideline for ensuring user readiness for new generation satellites” and plan appropriate projects to ensure user readiness”
Briefing at WMO Exec Council May 2013 Operators are making good progress in addressing this issue
e.g. JMA activities re Himawari-8 GOES-R Proving Ground
Information may be hard to find for some users Want to ensure users are empowered to make decisions
Requested Action
Agencies are requested to nominate focal points for a "task team" to prepare an online 'user guide' to be published on the WMO website
Designed as a one-stop shop for information on receiving systems proxy datasets training material
Users can use this information to Effectively plan their own activities to adjust to changes Minimise service delivery risk associated with transition to new
systems

Information/training of prospective users User conferences and workshops on new capabilities Portals providing instrument specifications, data formats Proxy data sets, tools and demonstration products Guidance on receiving hardware/software Training material and training events
System operation Some overlap period of old/new satellites Some overlap of old/new dissemination systems Satellite-independent dissemination system (e.g. GEONETCast)
User organizations Set up a user readiness project (e.g.~5 years) prior to launch Networking through online collaboration
Guidelines on user readiness for new satellite systems, adopted by CBS in Sept 2012 (Summary)

Education and TrainingCapacity building
A network of 13 Centres of Excellence sponsored by 8 satellite operators
■ To provide training on meteorological and environmental satellite systems, data, products and applications;
■ To foster research and the development of applications for societal benefit at the local level by the National Met Services.
■ To assist NMSs in preparing for new generation satellites
